User blog:Biggren/Recovery Plans 1.0

These are my ideas on replenishing the Redwall community. I crave others' opinions and ideas- Please, feel free to add any ideas of yours to this blog under a headline bearing your username. Also, I would suggest reading my earlier post regarding wiki growth before examining the following plans.

Foremost, it would be best if all active users come forward and say they are active to avoid needless confusion over who's active and who isn't.

Secondly, those people I mentioned who are active on other sites should be reminded of this community. For some, that may be all they need- most of this user shortage dilemma is probably caused because people have simply forgotten Redwall Wars Wiki. If anyone is in communication with such people, a reminder of the good old days could bring them back home.

Third, RPGs are not enough. They don't do enough. RPGs are part of any Redwall friendship- but should never supplant it as a primary connection with a friend. If all you ever do as friends is RPG, you'll eventually realize how little you have come to know one another because you don't talk anymore. Anyone else notice that we were much tighter-knit as a community when we talked to each other on a daily basis on the RWW Speeqe? Some of the newer people probably don't. But they at least remember when we talked on an every-other-day basis on RWW Chat.

Fourth, people need the will to have fun, RPG, talk about things like they did back in the old days- need to want to have a thriving community, and do their level best to attain such hights.

The main reason why RPGs are dying with such alacrity is due to us not knowing each other. We don't do anything outside RPGs- I'll be first to admit it that I don't say much at all to everyone else, and I'm less active than I should be because I'm letting Redwall mean less to me than it used to. But I've realized now that it's a decision. It's a state of mind. If I want to I can conjure up memories of Redwall, and when I do I feel motivated again.

As an afterword: I recognize that most of us have tight schedules now that we're "grownups" or "almost-grownups", but does that mean we can't have a fun community? I heard someone say awhile back that they've "outgrown" Redwall. It made me wonder: do children grow up, laughing and having fun, playing and joking around, and upon reaching adulthood they cease to have friendships or read books or have imaginations? How abstractly absurd.
